(CNN) - A short video released by ISIS on Friday shows the apparent beheading of British aid worker Alan Henning.

Before he is killed, Henning speaks to the camera, referencing the Britain's Parliament decision to join the bombing campaign against ISIS. At the end of the video, ISIS shows an American aid worker, Peter Kassig, and threatens his life.

There is no reason to believe that the video is not authentic, a U.S. intelligence official told CNN, adding that U.S. officials are studying it.
